Coast

If you're in the mood for seafood with a side of impeccable service, Coast delivers a dining experience that plays all the right notes. The seafood? Phenomenal. I highly recommend the fish and chips cones. Not only were they tasty, they were just the perfect refreshing twist on a commonly seen and overdone menu item. In terms of ambiance, the air hums with vibrant energy. The decor is modern, urbane, and a beautifully calibrated West Coast cool. We opted to be indoor, and was seated right near their oyster bar, a beautiful towering centerpiece within the dark atmosphere. What made our experience at Coast truly exceptional was the service. Lindsay, our hostess, welcomed us like friends with a smile that immediately put us at ease. Oscar, our server, brought charm, humor, and a dash of magic to the evening. Their attention turned a good meal into an outstanding experience.

Seafood lovers’ heaven! Great daily lunch special (fish and chips with a beer for $20 on Friday) and lunch combo for $39. (We had chowder and seafood pasta) They also have great deals during happy hours. Oysters and raw stuff recommended. Nice patio seatings and sidewalk seatings were great for a sunny day. Service was excellent… professional and attentive.

We visited Coast for the buy-up offer, which included a three-course meal for $170. Overall, it was a solid experience with a few highlights — definitely worth considering if the promotion returns. The first course included a salad and calamari. Both were decent but nothing memorable. The second course featured wagyu beef sushi, which was unfortunately the most disappointing part of the meal. The portion was very thin, and the flavour was bland — definitely not what you’d expect from wagyu. Things picked up significantly in the main course. We tried the pasta, salmon Wellington, strip loin steak, and vegetables. The pasta was excellent — perfectly cooked and loaded with seafood. The steak was spot-on medium rare and nicely seasoned. The standout, though, was the salmon Wellington — packed with flavour, with moist and flaky salmon and crisp pastry. Dessert wrapped things up on a high note. The cheesecake lollipops were delicious, and the dessert served in a cup (can’t recall the name) was also fantastic. Service and ambiance were both great. If this buy-up menu comes back, I’d definitely recommend giving it a try!

We visited on a Monday afternoon for happy hour and were seated right away as a party of three. We sat out on the patio and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Our server was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. We ordered the oysters, crab dip, and sushi sampler. The oysters were very small, but at $1.50 a shuck, it was still a decent happy hour deal. The sushi sampler was fresh and enjoyable, and the crab dip was a nice addition. Conveniently, there’s a parking garage located right next to the restaurant, which made getting there easy.

I had tried Coast a few years ago and left with a fairly good impression, especially their sablefish, which stood out at the time. I had almost forgotten about the restaurant until recently, when I came across a promotion they were offering: a fixed 4-course "Buy Up" dinner for two at half the regular price. It sounded like a great deal, so we decided to try it and turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The meal was excellent, with portions that were actually quite generous for a prix fixe menu. Each course was flavorful and well-presented, everyone in our group truly enjoyed. What made the evening even more memorable was the impeccable service from Peter. He was attentive, professional, and added a personal touch that elevated the whole experience. Thanks to both the great food and warm hospitality, we had a lovely night out.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! We did a family option and got a mix of everything on the menu. It was so delicious! The pairings for the wine were excellent and the service (server name Michael) was amazing. Overall highly recommended - kudos to the team 😊

This place is a hidden gem, I don’t why it took me so long to find it in plain sight! Food is exceptional, service is amazing and the location is beautiful (patio outside in the summer!) I cannot recommend an item since everything was perfect! But I will say, for someone like me who is not a fan of oysters, this was the first time I enjoy them, quality is somewhere else. The cherry on top was the service, definitely better than most places in Vancouver. The manager, Fadel, made sure our experience was as amazing. I’m definitely a recurrent customer now!

We came in for happy hour and had the calamari, beef carpaccio and lobster Mac and cheese which were all really good! I think we found our new happy hour spot! Needless to say what makes the experience is always service and Laura was the best!! She was very knowledgeable on the menu and her service was just great with her drink recommendations and great table service!

Came by coast for a happy hour and highly recommend making a reso beforehand because it was sooo busy! Tried out a few of the menu items but unfortunately nothing was too impressive Mussels - some were not as fresh as others. Thai sauce was good but wish all mussels were fresher Wagyu carpaccio - it was ok, felt like there could have been more than 5 slices for the value but was pretty tasty Calamari - fresh squid and liked the sauce that it came with Crab dip - our fav of the night, very cheesy and tasty Raspberry cake - so pretty and tasted as good as it looked

Coast is absolutely the place for seafood lovers! From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is inviting, with a stunning bar right at the centre of the restaurant. We decided to sit at the bar, and it was the perfect spot to enjoy our meal. Our server recommended everything. We visited during Happy Hour (2:30 PM to 5:30 PM), and it was such a great deal! I started with a dozen raw oysters, and they were so fresh and delicious that I couldn't resist ordering another dozen. Each bite was crisp, and absolutely perfect. Alongside the oysters, we tried the Hamachi Crudo, which was light and flavorful, the Calamari, which was crispy and tender, and we had to finish off with the Truffle Fries. Every dish was executed beautifully, showcasing the freshness and quality of the ingredients. To top it all off, we enjoyed Tequila 1942 shots in between our dozen oysters. It was the perfect complement to the meal. Coast is a fantastic place to enjoy fresh seafood in a lively yet sophisticated setting. Highly recommend!

Coast is definitely a top tier spot. It's fine(r) dining, but also casual at the same time. My friend and I swung by for the happy hour oysters and learned they have buck-a-shuck oysters for a limited time on Friday & Saturdays only. We went to happy hour on a Sunday so we just missed it. Food was fantastic. Ambiance is also great. We chose to sit in the protected outside seating area. They had heat lamps on as well, so it wasn't cold at all. A couple negroni's later and we were feeling great. Our waitress was fantastic, and we would definitely recommend. Shrimp cocktail was superb. The shrimps were super fresh and the cocktail sauce was what you'd expect. Beef carpaccio was really my favorite. It was perfectly balanced with the capers and the bread crackers. Oysters were also very fresh. I would happily go again just for the oysters honestly. They were really fresh and sweet, and the mignonette Coast has is pretty tasty too!

Best HH in dt Vancouver. Love that we can make reservations for HH since we have a large group. Our waiter was awesome, forgot his name but he came back and check on us and refill our drinks and water all the time. I think we ordered like 8 dozens of oyster and he didn't even questioned (gotten the from other places before ). I think we ordered almost every item on the HH menu, forgot to take pic. Everything tastes great too!! Would definitely come back again.

Coast , Vancouver - what a lovely interior! Just as we stepped inside the restaurant, there was so much going on around us but the managers including the general manager was on the floor managing each and every table. Excellent service and kudos to ushers and servers for giving their best. Now let's talk about food. I just loved everything I ate there. Gnocchi was one of the best I have ever had. Tell me what not is on the menu.!! Everything from egg cone role as a starter to many such delicacies can be enjoyed here. Full course menu , entrees and deserts variety is huge. Drinks menu is full of fancy liquor options, red and white wine , cocktails and other selection. I must admit that I forgot the name of the red wine I had there was the best.

Came here to try dine out last week after several years and had a fantastic dinner. Been here before so i knew it would not disappoint. Tried their dim sum Wagyu carpaccio, Hokkaido sea scallops. Others at my table had the shrimp salad and salmon Wellington. Also tried the nigiri plate and that was amazing the fish was so fresh and top quality. I'm happy to see that they have maintained the quality and standard here over the years. Love the atmosphere and excellent service. Keep up the great work and see you again !

Best place for dates, ambiance is romantic! Service was great, the servers offered indoor/outdoor. We were expecting for Oyster, sadly it's not available when we arrive :(( we ordered happy hour menu instead, everything is super good and mouth watering I LOVE TO COMEBACK HERE FOR OYSTER!!!

Finally got to try coast while they're on their special lobster menu. Everything is delicious and on point. The special touch to the soup with corn and crotons and the salad is like a Cesar with lettuce and arugula. I personally enjoyed the stuffed lobster very much over the pasta. The lobster is very cheesy which we love. The dessert was also a pleasant surprise as I didn't think much of it but loved every bite of it because of how moist and tasty it was! Delicate without being overly sweet. Lastly our server gets a 10/10 as she seemed super busy all night but still provided stellar service, checking in regularly to make sure we got everything we needed! 10/10 would love to come back again. Maybe will try their regular set menu next time

We had a reservation and we still had to wait a few minutes for our table to be ready. We were seated in a comfortable booth and I liked that it wasn't too noisy even though there were other customers seated around us. They had a happy hour and we ordered oysters and shrimp cocktail to start. There there 4 large shrimp and served with a tasty seafood sauce. I didn't try the oysters but my friends enjoyed them. I ordered a crab cake and it was the best one I ever had. It wasn't full of filler but lots of crab and not a fried cake where you aren't sure if it's even crab. I enjoyed it along with the salad that it was served with. I also tried a scallop and it was good. I will definitely be back here to try more seafood! Our server was friendly and attentive to make sure our drinks were topped up.

One of the best Happy Hour offerings in $$$ upscale category - I was tempted to offer a 3-star since 'service' makes of breaks a revisit. Rushed and delayed at the same time Oysters - small yet delicious (I'm yet to be convinced that Joe Fortes can be knocked off that top spot) Crab dip - pleasure to the senses, perfect portion size, fresh, robust Beef carpaccio - hefty, zesty Fish and chips - redolent, but meagre, perhaps ask for double portion fish since these were a solid 3 bites For a seafood menu, the striploin is a perfect balance, good value for a 14oz This place may be large, with exceptional indoor and outdoor (5-star outdoor) seating, yet still quaint. Overall, perfect for a non-pricy post-work soirée

*Updated review* I recently had the pleasure of dining at Coast Restaurant on a beautiful summer day, and the experience was delightful. The patio provided the perfect setting to enjoy the weather while indulging in some fantastic seafood. We started with a platter of big, fresh oysters that were absolutely incredible. Each one was a burst of flavour. Next, we tried the fish and chip cone, featuring crispy fish that was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The cone presentation added a fun twist to this classic dish. The salmon Oshi was solid, with its torched top adding a delightful smoky flavor to the fresh salmon. Finally, we had the mussels in broth. The mussels were plump and cooked to perfection but the quantity was tiny, with only 5 mussels included. However, the mussel meats were large, juicy, and plump. In addition to the excellent food, the service was outstanding. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal. Overall, Coast Restaurant offers a wonderful dining experience, especially on a nice summer day on the patio.

Happy Hour is from 2:30-5:30 and has a great selection! I went here without reservations for 2 people on a Sunday afternoon and was able to be seated right away. They have a great variety for Happy Hour. My faves were the crab dip, wagyu beef carpaccio, 1/2lb mussels in red curry and the torched salmon oshi. We also ordered some oysters for 1.50 each. Such a deal. Everything we ordered off the happy hour menu tasted great and fresh. The mini lobster and prawn roll was okay, lacking in seasoning. They also offer a variety of drinks. We got the moscow mule and enjoyed it. I really enjoyed this restaurant and liked the decor. Service was attentive and fast. Such a great experience here during happy hour and I can't wait to bring friends here.

Excellent happy hour. All the food choices exceeded expectations. Service is top notch and friendly. A def go-to when we visit.

Went here for dinner. I've seen posts on IG raving about the seafood, so I decided to try it. I got the $65 set meal with good selection of appetizers , entree and dessert. The mussels were in a wine sauce - prepared well and cleaned well. The oysters were fresh with good accompaniments. The lobster and shrimp carbonara was creamy, the shrimp and lobster were perfectly cooked. It also had a good ratio of protein to pasta. The Hokkaido Scallop with the Risotto - rice was al dente , saffron was pronounced and the scallops were perfectly seared. Dessert was good too! Overall a great visit. Service was good as our waiter was attentive to our needs and wants. Great intimate atmosphere too (at least where we were seated)

We came on a Friday night for happy hour. We made reservations but honestly they probably weren't necessary. We got the oysters ($1.5), beef carpaccio ($16), Moscow mule ($6), salmon flatbread ($15), truffle fries ($10) and espresso martini ($15) The oysters are definitely the most worth it on their happy hour menu. There's only a handful of places that do 1.50 or 1$ oysters and this is one of them. The salmon flatbread has been on their menu since I first started going to Coast back in 2012. It's almost a must order as the portion is big and they are generous on the smoked salmon. You can't go wrong with this dish. The beef carpaccio didn't come with enough slices of bread. They slice they beef really big so it's kind of hard to eat when placed on the crispy bread. I think they should cut it smaller so that when you bite into it the whole piece doesn't end up in your mouth all at once. Makes it hard to eat. Also a bit too much sauce. Wouldn't order again Truffle fries didn't have much truffle flavour but it was really crispy and well fried. Would order again Espresso martini was the dessert and maybe one of the highlights of the night. It was well made and pretty strong. Espresso flavour came through nicely. Would order again Overall their happy hour is a good deal and I love the setting here. Our server was really nice and friendly. Attended to our needs 100% of the time even before we knew we needed it. Maybe checked up on us a bit too much but that's to be expected. (First tipping amount if 20% FYI - but I think that's standard for most Global restaurants now). I would come back to try their mini lobster roll, calamari and mussels

Located near the hotel we were staying we wanted something that was near us and just as the previous reviews stated I wouldn't recommend coming. ***What we ordered **Brioche Bun (6/10) ~ The buns were baked pretty well, although there wasn't anything special about it. Although if you do order the calm chowder you should definitely get this on the side to eat it with **Calm Chowder (9/10) ~ This was the best thing that we ordered. The soup was seasoned perfectly, the calm was cooked nicely, and it had a nice creaminess. Highly recommend eating this with the bread. **Calamari (2/10) ~ This came out soggy and bland. Honestly it was a pretty big disappointment. Not sure how that happened... **Sablefish (3/10) ~ This was a disappointment. The fish was a little tough, the broth was nothing special, and the vegetables tasted okay. Honestly, for $45 CAD. This is not worth it AT ALL. Everything was just mediocre or overall sweet. Which I believe they possibly added too much mirin in their cooking. Overall, Service was okay, food was mid, and honestly you're paying for the ambiance. I would not recommend anyone to come here. It's super pricey for what you're getting.

Excellent service, we were seated immediately and the manager regularly checked on our table since the server was busy. For an upscale restaurant, it was very comfortable and unpretentious. My friend and I were happy with the wide selection of drinks and appies for happy hour: oysters: $1.50 oysters and they were very fresh. 2 fish & chip cones: the creaminess of the Japanese tartar sauce paired well with the crispy tempura cod. torched sablefish oshi: I was expecting a smoky and creamy taste, but the sablefish was so thin, all I could taste was rice with teriyaki sauce. It also kept falling apart. I wouldn't recommend this. 1/2 lb mussels: plump mussels in a delicious white wine broth. It was small since it's only half a lb, but I recommend. crab dip: this was our least favourite appie. There was more cream cheese than crab and it was very heavy.

Pleasant happy hour from 230-530pm. Enjoyed the buck a shuck oysters - usually $1.50 during happy hour but it's $1.00 during August. You can order no more than a dozen at the table each time. Enjoyed a glass of white wine ($5) and shared some other appetizers with coworkers. I liked their fries, calamari and beef carpaccio.

My husband and I went here for happy hour. We sat at the bar and had amazing bartenders/servers- Josh and Amy! We went for the happy hour oysters- amazing! We also had the hamachi and hand roll. Very fresh and good flavor. Good cocktails and ambiance too!

My friends and I had a lovely dinner here tonight. I subscribe to various local newsletters online, most foodie-oriented, about restaurant openings and closings, specials and events. I had read that Coast was having a 20th anniversary special menu, only until Oct.20, where a bunch of their most well-known dishes were available for $20. Cool! I was pleased this wouldn't break the bank. We were also there during their Happy Hour (until 5:30 pm daily), which offers many tasty-sounding appetizers at kick-ass prices. (Fresh oysters on the half shell, for $1.50 each? WOW!). Our reservations were for 4pm and I was there 30 minutes early. Still, they were able to seat me, as I waited for my dinner party. I opted to sit in their pretty outside patio. It had the feel of a solarium in a garden, with hanging plants and suspended lighting. And the heaters were oh so nice! Our server was fabulous. (Wish I caught his name). Super nice, very attentive, made the night. I was a bit dismayed that to hear that the special $20 menu was only offered after 5pm. I had researched the menu online and read about this special prior to coming, and nowhere did I see it mentioned that this was only available after 5pm. The only limitation I read was that this menu was only available until Oct.20. So I was not thrilled. Luckily, one person in our party was held up at work and didn't arrive until 4:40 or so, so we were able to easily wait until 5pm and order these "special menu" meals. I ordered the bento box meal, which was an assortment of small plates. (I like sampler plates). I really loved about half the plates; the others weren't really my cup of tea (like the seaweed dish, the "salad" dish, the octopus dish. My friends liked these, though, so it was just me!). The sashimi I had was excellent, and there was a delicious tempura dish with a delectable sauce, too. One friend had the miso sablefish. It was a small portion, and he said it was good, but not stellar. (He lived in Japan for many years and is used to sablefish that melts in the mouth. Not sure he could find that here in Vancouver). Still, he liked it and ate it all. My other friend had the sirloin Oscar. I tried a bit. OMG this dish was delicious! The steak was wonderfully seasoned. It was the best dish of the night. I also ordered, for the table, some brioche bread with whipped butter. Man, it was good! Walking through the restaurant to get to the washrooms in the rear, I was really impressed with the interior decor and lay-out. There's a central "island" consisting of a 2 or 3-storey high column on which there are liquor bottles and the bar glasses as well as sushi and seafood on ice, and a round, circular counter at the base around which diners sit on barstools. It's a very dramatic and cool center- and focal point in the restaurant interior. Perhaps my only grievance - and I acknowledge it's a petty one - is the music played, and the volume of said music. It's so loud, and so techno. It made it hard at times for us to hear each other. Despite this, we all had a lovely dinner here and will return, for sure.

Mouthwatering seafood and then some. Coast, you are FABULOUS! This was my first meal while visiting Vancouver and it set the bar extremely high for every other restaurant that I went to afterward. If you love seafood, you will love, love, looooove Coast! I wanted to try them out for their famous happy hour but I'm SO glad that I opted for dinner instead. Dinner was absolutely exquisite! Let's talk about this ambience right quick; friggin' FAB-O! You walk in and feel like you've been transported back in time. The cute little vintage style booths and gorgeous wrap around bar are stunning! Service is just exceptional. Everyone is on their p's and q's and I respect that so much. The menu will make your mouth water. One of the rare times when I wanted to order every damn thang on the menu. It all sounded so amazing. And that wine and cocktail list?! Just wonderful! I had the most refreshing cocktail to start me off. It was the Strawberry Fields Spritzer and it was marvelous. I ordered the chef's selection of half dozen oysters, prawn cocktail, and miso sablefish. When I tell you that everything was phenomenal!!! Babyyy... bay-beeee! Ugh. So, so, sooo damn good. I can't recall the exact type of oysters that I had, but the bartender shucked and prepared them fresh right in front of me! Wowza, what a sight to see. It made ya girl feel uber special. The prawn cocktail was the fanciest that I've ever had! It came served over dry ice and just lit up the room. Everyone was staring at it once it made its' way to my space. Not only was it the fanciest prawn cocktail that I've ever had, it was also the largest! I didn't even know that shrimp could grow to be that damn big! Amazing! It was so fresh and the homemade cocktail sauce was tasty. The appetizers were lit, but nothing and I mean NOTHING could compare to that miso sablefish! Laaaawd GEEZUS! I must have melted after the first bite because I could feel myself sinking farther down into my seat. Eyes rolling to the back of my head. Oh yeah, this... this was IT. The sablefish was so light, buttery, and crispy. This was my first time ever having sablefish and it was love at first bite ladies and gent! How could it just melt away in my mouth like that?! What kind of sorcery?!! I mean, really. It was amazing. Aaaaahh-MAZING! Still dreaming about it to this day. The closest thing that I could compare it to would be miso black cod. But let's be real here; THIS tasted 100 times better. The smell, the flavors, the presentation; everything about this dish was perfect. Loved it to pieces. What a meal, what a meal, what a MEAL! Coast showed up and showed OUT. Next time that I'm in Vancouver, I will DEFINITELY come back here to satisfy all of my seafood needs. You should too.

Final day of our visit in Vancouver, we decided to have dinner at Coast Vancouver. Since Vancouver is well known for seafood and Japanese food, we had the seafood tower. At $225, it is the biggest seafood tower out of all. We don't really like the oysters, but we sub with tiger prawns. The tower comes with 3 levels. The top one is the sashimi and rolls, middle level is the whole lobster and some chop seafood salad, bottom layer is the prawns, clams, mussels and scallop sashimi. All very fresh and huge portion. We finished the seafood tower and didn't order anything else. If you like seafood. OMG! This is the place to go!

Fantastic dinner at Coast Restaurant on a Monday night. There is a four course menu and every dish was delicious! fresh forno bread & New England chowder seafood ceasar salad for two surf "n" turf for two warm banana & coconut butter cake and crème brûlée The staff was amazing! They asked if we wanted to hold back the next dish we need to rest. We did ask for dessert to come out a bit later to give our tummies a rest :)

Coast Restaurant is celebrating it's 20th anniversary with a special menu for which every item is only $20 each, but it's only available until Oct.20th! That's only about 2 days from now! Bento Taster Miso Sablefish Tableside Buttered Clam & Squid Ink Vongole Warm Banana & Coconut Butter Cake Bento Taster was so beautifully presented and we thought the ahi tuna sashimi was the most incredible of all the bites that came in this Bento. Sablefish is always a favourite of ours and this one was no exception to the rule as it was delightfully soft and tender, with a wonderfully flavorful broth that accompanied it. Butter Clam & Squid Ink Vongole was by far the star of the show. Our server torched a pecorino cheese wheel in front of us and then tossed the pasta into the torched wheel to coat it with the pecorino cheese. It was quite a sight to behold and I've never had any other dish like this. The pasta was wonderfully buttery; the cheese which coated the pasta was a good amount, and not overpowering.  Portions were on the smaller side, but for a place like Coast Restaurant $20 was a fair price to pay for each dish. Ordering several dishes to share is definitely recommended. While chewing on my Vongole pasta, I bit into something hard several times. I wasn't sure if it was a piece of clam shell or perhaps some bit of sand that hadn't been washed out thoroughly from the clams, but I definitely bit into something hard. Our server was very apologetic and at the end of the evening offered to bring us a complimentary Butter Cake dessert as he felt bad about the mishap with my pasta. We were on a schedule and didn't have time to sit in the restaurant any longer so he had it packed for us to go. I don't know if this cake was the same size as it would have been if we'd had it in the restaurant or if they gave us an extra large portion as compensation for our vongole pasta but it was an extremely generous amount that we were given. When we got home we warmed up the Butter Cake in the microwave and shared it with our daughter. The Butter Cake came with a strawberry and a small container of Creme Anglaise to pour on top. Oh wow! My favourite part of the meal! The cake really was so soft and buttery, and I loved the harmonious blend of banana and coconut flavors. Service:   Excellent Parking:   Paid parking on the street Location: 1054 Alberni St., Vancouver

Blaine my server was amazing. So knowledgeable and on point & good service obviously makes the night Food was awesome too! Oysters yum Banana cake yum

A great restaurant in Vancouver with a great vibe. I love how the wait staff bends over backwards to make sure that you're pleased with your meal selections.

My favourite seafood restaurant in the city. I've always enjoyed the fresh fish each time I've gone. The food is always incredibly delicious and the service is excellent. Very friendly staff who give great suggestions. #contestentry

We got the Oysters, which were fantastic. Other than that, food was kind of lacking. Nigiri had far too much wasabi in each roll, making it a bit tough to eat and completely masking the taste of the fish. Halibut was overly salty but cooked well. Veggies that came with the halibut were mediocre, nothing special. Service was very slow. We were alone on the top floor of the restaurant and the rest of the place was slow, on a tuesday night. Took a long long time to get water, drinks, food, the check etc.

After having sat down, we asked each other....."why is this place so empty and at Happy Hour?!".....now I know why. Here it is.... The Caesar is one of my favourite drinks, and I was craving it today for Happy Hour. Let me ask you something.....when you go for Happy Hour do you expect to get a proper drink at a discounted price, because you're giving them your business at an off time? Or, do you expect to get a half/ass drink because you're paying less? Which one? The Caesar I was served was a disgrace to all Caesars in Canada and all Bloody Mary's in the USA. It was watery, in a tiny glass with 90% ice and maybe....maybe a drop of cheap vodka with a tiny olive and an anorexic on the brink of death string bean screaming desperation.....and I'm being generous. (see pic.) The Truffle fries were ok and the Oysters at $1.50 were good. Even though the place was nearly empty, our server Kyle seemed like he was recovering from a hangover....slow, distracted, nonchalant with minimal effort. The busboy cleared our Fries before we were done without even asking. For a place like Coast you expect more. It's that simple. The service was forgettable at best. How do I put this kindly?....the Happy Hour at Coast made me rethink of ever doing another Happy Hour anywhere.

Came tonight with their promotional voucher $220 value for the price of $120. This promo includes 4 courses for 2 Prosecco, 2 - bread/soup, salad, choice of 1 entree and 2 dessert. *Fresh Forno Bread/New England Clam Chowder: the bread were the best! The soup had lots of seafood. A little bland, could use some salt. *Seafood Caesar Salad For Two: I expected more from Coast on this salad. The dressing lacked the sharpness of garlic and anchovy that is distinctive of Caesar dressing. It tasted like a store bought bottled dressing. *Surf N' Turf Platter for Two: Lobster Thermidor and grilled Striploin instead of Lobster & Crab paella was the recommendation of our waiter. We had our steak medium and it was the toughest ever. Bland, dry and tough enough for us to complain. Chef was very kind to make it up for us with another piece but a strip loin is a strip loin - connective tissues, lacks marbling. *Warm Banana & Coconut Butter Cake @ Crème Brûlée: these two desserts were the star of the night. We were told that the butter cake was on their menu for 15 years. It is impressive. Overall, the night wasn't worth $120, more so $220. I'm glad we ordered raw oysters. Otherwise, it would have ruined our date night completely. In short, I had higher expectations from Coast but was totally disappointed. Their promo to boost up Sunday's and Monday's lull will probably have a good turn out in numbers but won't make much of repeat customers.

I have been all over the world and this is one of the best for the "ambience" and staff interactions I have experienced. From one of the owners coming to our table and talking to us, to the bartender who was also our server, we had a great time interacting and experiencing the afternoon. Thank you for making our end of travel day (we just flew in from northern, MN) a wonderful experience. Now on to the food, the "Happy Hour" menu was the ticket that got us in the door. We will be return for the value that menu had and the taste of the food. I do not take pictures of my food, it is just me being anti cell phone while I am eating. We had the calamari strips that were lightly seasoned and no heavy batter. YUMMMM Not "soggy" like some can be. Clam chowder nice, creamy smooth with unique (no not a strange type of unique) flavor like a lite Truffle oil flavor. The lobster prawn roll sandwich (we saw a lot of them being served) was excellent! and believe me I have had many just SO-SO- Lobster rolls in my life. This was worth "writing home" about, a must try for seafood lovers! Caesar salad was crisp and a wonderful flavor to the dressing. I find on late Sunday afternoon the greens at a lot of restaurants get "tired" at the end of a weekend and this was not the case at all. Then for what I thought was unique and great tasting/texture was the Japanese wrap tempura cod. You have to try this...a double Yummy! I have spent over 9 months of my life working in Japan and this was a great experience to have outside of Japan. Just do not overlook the whole experience as you sit there and consume your food. We had a very good spot watching the bar area. From the coat check, to the walking out the door we had a wonderful time and are returning while here this week. Thank you to everyone from the owner to the front end who made this a great memory!

Our visit to the Coast restaurant was exceptional. Our server had gone out of his way to accommodate any requests that made, making our dinner exquisite. I would highly recommend visiting the Coast if you are in the area.

First time being in Coast for Happy Hour + Dinner. We were having a great time there. Fresh oyster with very good price Lots of choices to pick from the Happy Hour menu. For our dinner time, we ordered the Sunday special Seafood paella and it's so delicious. We will definitely go back again soon. Our new favorite place for Happy Hour and seafood.

Which was better? The food or the service? I had the seafood pasta (OMG) and my beloved had the halibut special. Our friends had the roasted salmon and the gnocchi special, all remarkable.

Did not want to take 7 people table maybe because the do not like 11 year old kids so very disappointed dis not even try to so very bad service they do eat like a normal grown up

We were there with a large group and Michael M was our server. Excellent menu with lots of diverse options. Had the Saddlefish in a miso broth and it was wonderful. The entire group enjoyed each dish. Great food and Michael was personable and took care of our every need!

Great happy hours. All week. Australian Wagyu carpaccio and $1.50 paradise bay oysters are the stars. Salmon flatbread also very good. Excellent service by Sean. Frankie and Abbe are very welcoming managers/hosts.

Didn't think the inside would be as beautiful as it was when we drove by to park. I love seafood and so this is the place my girlfriend made reservations for dinner for our girls night out in Vancouver. We had reservations but we're running a little late due to the rain and traffic and we were extremely grateful that we were able to push our reservations out a bit. We were welcomed by the hostess and thankful they had coat check for our rain filled jackets! we were seated upstairs and had this wonderful view of the restaurant! Our server was pleasant and patient as we went through the menu to decide what we wanted and checked in on us frequently. We had a bottle of white wine from New Zealand (can't remember the name for the life of me). Shared the delicious sushi as our app and i had the linguini for dinner. I can't put into enough words how delicious the food was and how amazing the service was! Definitely a place I'll visit again the next time I come out west!

Ambience was good, service was good but unfortunately the food was lackluster... We had the fixed menu and a lot of the dishes were disappointing - in taste and portion ...

We had a party of 12 in a private room for dinner. Our main server (Mike M.) did a great job taking care of us. The drinks had to be separate from the meal and he was very accommodating in providing separate checks for our cocktail. Those assisting Mike also did a great job. The food was really good. Overall, Mike and those supporting him made for a relaxing and enjoyable evening after a long day of travel. Thanks again Mike.

We had the tasting menu. The first four dishes were pretty good but than we had to waited like 45 minutes for the next dish. Than the food just went down hill from there. The seafood Risotto, the mussel I had was was part hot and part cold. Hopefully I won't get sick from it. All said and done, the services from the waitress was excellent.

It started off well. The food came in an orderly manner. The guy waiter started with us but then disappeared. A girl came and took over to service us. She was good but when I ordered a second dozens of oysters. It took more than half an hour to arrive. I was full by then. The second batch of oysters were slimy and fishy. I will never order a second batch again. last month I wanted to order two dozens of oysters but weren't allowed. The waitress said a dozen at a time. So when seconds round came, I was too full to order more oysters. I wouldn't order pop here. They never get you a refill. Refill should be automatic. Especially when you are paying $5-$6 for a pop. Do not order pop here. It's a rip off. Order beer or alcohol. It's the same price as a pop. I come here for happy hour because they have a good selection of food for happy hour. Will go to park and nightingale for happy hour. They have better service and food.

Go! CLAM CHOWDER (possibly the best I ever had) MUSSELS Calamari Enough said!!!! -service:excellent -atmosphere: upscale with vibrant vide

Larger family group. Food was very good and service was better. Sam was on top of her game. It was a warm beautiful.

Went to the Coast restaurant when we first arrived in Vancouver. Decided to just try a bunch of appetizers. We ordered the grilled octopus, the sweet chili prawns, the Dungeness crab cakes, the crispy calamari and a Caesar salad. All the food was very good and a lot of it was on the happy hour menu. We also had the red sangria which hit the spot after long flights. Service was very good as well. Sorry ate the food before I could get pictures.

I keep bring friends and family here because chef's excellence in every dish accompanied by service as to royalty by each level from reception to server confidence, knowledge and presentation of your dish delivered proudly and sincerely to you with great care.

Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Beautiful seating outside. Amazing staff Isabella was amazing server and had lots of good recommendations.

We loved this restaurant. The food was wonderful and service was top notch! We shared the steamed mussels, Sablefish and Halibut special. All were delicious

Service was good food was mediocre all the sushi we had were okay nothing special feel like I could get better sushi at the store
